She sings, she writes, she draws, and she decorates - she’s an artist in every sense of the word. Ashthon Jones was born to create and her unique R&B/Urban sound is infectious. Ashthon’s debut EP, “Introducing Ashthon Jones,” along with the video premiere of her single “Like This” are scheduled for commercial release in December 2008. Born in Joplin, Missouri, Jones divided her childhood between her mom in Nashville and her godparents in Valdosta, Georgia. Influenced by her Georgia family’s musical talent - and artists such as Mariah Carey and Destiny’s Child - she began singing gospel songs in church. When Jones was only six years old, she had the opportunity to perform with recording artist and Nashville native Amy Grant on her CCM hit, “My Father’s Eyes.” Ashthon relocated to Miami, Florida, when she was fifteen years old, a move which would make a huge impact on her life. “The life experiences and lessons I learned there molded me into the person I am today,” she reflects. These experiences caused Ashthon to concentrate seriously on her musical dreams. In 2006, Ashthon relocated to Nashville, diving immediately into its music scene. She began writing gospel songs, singing at various open mic nights, and became the house singer for a local club. That gig landed her a spot behind the microphone as a backup singer for Corey Clark, a former American Idol contestant. When she wasn’t waiting tables, writing songs, or singing, she would hang out at local music video shoots. It was at one of the video shoots that she met Bar-None, a record producer who had recently signed with Nashville-based Murrah Colton Entertainment. “I didn’t believe anything he was telling me because so many other producers had said the same thing and nothing would happen, so I wasn’t even going to give him a chance,” she remembers. That didn’t stop Bar-None from pursuing her talent. She finally met him at his studio on Music Row where she learned he was the real deal. Ashthon states: “Bar-None and I really vibe together. We’ve been that way ever since our first time in the studio. He brings a lot out of me musically that I didn’t know I had.” Ashthon is signed with Murrah Colton Entertainment. “This is a life changing opportunity and the first step to my growth as a songwriter and an artist,” says Jones. “I’m all in now.”
